Proposed Merger of the NHS Black Country and West Birmingham CCGs discussions

Following two successful listening exercises which began in October of last year, with many local people and partners, the four Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in the Black Country and West Birmingham: Dudley, Sandwell and West Birmingham, Walsall and Wolverhampton, are proposing to merge to create one CCG.

Sandwell and West Birmingham CCG are inviting the views of key stakeholders as they consider the future commissioning arrangements for the area they serve.

To ensure that you can feedback on these proposals, the CCGs have launched a series of formal conversations so you can share your views about these plans. Locally, there are two events. You can either take part in these meetings on-line using a video link through your computer, phone or tablet or telephone into the meeting to hear and take part in the discussions.

Both these events will be virtual due to the current coronavirus, as follows:

Sandwell
30 July: 2.00 – 3.30 pm
Email: Swbccg.engagement@nhs.net
Telephone: 0121 612 1447

West Birmingham
4 August: 11.00 – 12.30 pm
Email: Swbccg.engagement@nhs.net
Telephone: 0121 612 1447

The CCG also ask that you take the time to read the conversation document and have your say via the on-line survey, which can both be found on the website.

Or you can call 0121 612 1447 or email bcwb.engagement@nhs.net for more information or to complete over the phone or request a printed copy.
